Changing Autotune Options/Canceling an Aut otune
Once you have scheduled a program to autotune, you ca n change the autotune options or cancel the
autotune by selecting the program in t he Guide or the To Do List (press LIST); t hen, select the Autotune
item in the left menu, and follow the onscreen instruc tions to change the program’s options or cancel
the Autotune completely. For all programs, you can extend Autotu ne start and stop times (for example,
start 1 minute before the program; stop 5 minutes a fter the scheduled end of the program).
Recording to VCR
To record a program on your VCR, make sure you’ve connected your VCR properly to your DIRECTV
Receiver, then set up your VCR to record at the same time as a sche duled autotune and you’re set. See
your VCR User’s Guide for information on how to set it up for scheduled or manual recording.
To obtain optimum picture qua lity, make sure the receiver is c onnected directly to th e TV. Connecting the recei ver to the
TV through a VCR or DVD reco rder is known to yield less tha n optimum picture qualit y, particularly when view ing copy-
protected programming.
Important
Use Autotunes
to record your
favorite shows to
your VCR.
